 About this Guidebook
Along with the rest of the world, Singapore experiences the effects of
climate change. Reducing waste and adopting a Circular Economy
approach will directly support our climate mitigation efforts. Towards this
end, achieving “Zero Waste Nation” status is a key national priority for
Singapore. Everyone has a role to play on our road towards becoming a
Zero Waste Nation. Visit www.towardszerowaste.sg for more
information.

Aligning with the Zero Waste Nation objective, the 3R Guidebook is produced by the National
Environment Agency (NEA) to help schools assess their current waste management practices,
and identify opportunities to reduce, reuse and recycle waste materials so as to reduce their
waste disposal needs.

Teachers/Staff tasked to promote 3R practices in their organisations can refer to the Guidebook
for the planning and implementation of 3R plans.

What can be learnt from this Guide?

This guide is not intended as a “one-size-fits-all” solution to developing the best 3R programme
for schools. Rather, it seeks to provide general concepts and factors for consideration during the
planning phase.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Introduction
The case for “Zero Waste”

Over the years, Singapore’s waste disposal quantities have increased significantly. From 1,260
tonnes of disposal per day in 1970, the amount of waste disposed of has risen more than six
times to more than 8,400 tonnes per day currently, and is projected to continue to increase in
tandem with population and economic growth.

Since 1979, much investment has gone into the building of waste-to-energy incineration plants
and landfills to manage the increasing amount of waste disposed. The waste-to-energy
incineration plants are designed to incinerate waste safely and are equipped with air emission
cleaning equipment. These plants reduce the volume of waste by up to 90%, and recover
energy to supply about 3% of Singapore’s electricity demand. Ferrous and non-ferrous metals
are also recovered from the incineration bottom ash for recycling.

The remaining ash is then transported to the offshore Semakau Landfill, the only landfill in
Singapore.

If waste quantities continue to grow at the current rate, there would be a need to build a new
incineration plant every seven to 10 years. By 2035, the ash generated from waste incineration
may have nowhere to go as Semakau Landfill is projected to run out of space by then. This
presents an existential challenge for land-scarce Singapore and compels us to drastically cut
the amount of waste we generate to conserve our landfill for as long as possible.

Introduction

Strategies for Sustainable Solid Waste Management

• Circular Economy Approach

As a small city-state with limited space, Singapore has to ensure prudent use of land for
continued economic growth. Building more waste disposal facilities to handle the increasing
amount of waste will mean less land for other uses such as industries, housing, water
catchment areas, transportation and recreation.

The Sustainable Singapore Blueprint (SSB) 2015 outlines our national vision and plans for a
more livable and sustainable Singapore. For a vibrant and sustainable city, Singapore will work
towards becoming a Zero Waste Nation and a Leading Green Economy. Among other goals,
the SSB has set an overall waste recycling rate target of 70% by 2030.

Singapore’s Zero Waste Masterplan outlines our plans to go further

beyond these targets by building up “Three Resiliences” for
Singapore - Climate Resilience, Resource Resilience, and
Economic Resilience.

In order to achieve this, we have adopted a Circular Economy approach where the value of
resources is maximised by keeping them in use for as long as feasible. This would not only
conserve Earth’s limited, shared resources, extend the lifespan of Semakau Landfill, but also
minimise the carbon footprint of our waste management efforts.

Doing so will require measures to be adopted across the entire value chain, from sustainable
production and sustainable consumption to sustainable waste and resource management.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Introduction
Sustainable Production

When companies better manage their resources and reduce the amount of waste
generated from conducting their business, both the environment and their bottom line stand
to benefit. Some ways include sustainable design, improving resource efficiency and
adopting industrial symbiosis where companies use the waste of others as raw materials for
its own operations.

Sustainable Consumption

Rising disposable income levels have led to more comfortable lives for our current
generation. But as our affluence grows, so does our consumption of goods and services.
This in turn generates waste.

To promote a sustainable consumption culture, we need to do more and better with less.
This can be achieved by having a 3R or “Reduce, and Reuse and Recycle” mindset, and by
shifting towards the use of green products.

Sustainable Waste & Resource Management

Singapore has invested in infrastructure to collect, recycle and turn our waste to energy.
Our Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plants, which reduce waste to ash, enable extensive space
savings at Singapore’s only landfill while recovering energy from waste.

At the same time, we want to reduce the landfilling requirements from any residue from the
waste treatment process. This will reduce our carbon footprint from waste incineration and
further extend the lifespan of Semakau Landfill.

The role of Singaporeans and schools

We have set our sights on closing the Waste Loop by encouraging Singaporeans to waste
less and recycle more.

Schools can play their part by practising sustainable consumption and having a sustainable
management through the 3R s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

 CHAPTER 2: BENEFITS OF REDUCING, REUSING AND
RECYCLING to SCHOOLS
Introduction

What are the 3Rs?

The 3Rs stand for:

• Reduce – to avoid waste at source so as to minimise the

quantity of waste that needs to be treated or disposed of

• Reuse – to use an object or material again, either for its original

or similar purpose, without significantly altering the physical form
of the object or material

• Recycle – the process of transforming waste materials into reusable form which may
or may not be similar to the original product

3R practices encompass all measures that minimise the amount of waste disposed of.

The preferred waste management practice is to reduce waste at source, i.e. to prevent
waste from being generated. Where waste generation cannot be prevented other options
such as reusing the item(s), followed by recycling of the waste should be considered.

Benefits to Schools

Schools produce significant quantities of waste such as paper and food which provide great
potential for waste minimisation and recycling. Practising 3Rs may help to reduce waste
disposal costs. However, the importance of practising the 3Rs in schools goes beyond cost
savings.

Schools can play an important role in spreading the importance of the 3Rs to the
environment. They can also lead by example and help inculcate the values of practicing the
3Rs for life by practicing the 3Rs.

Schools provide a good learning environment to shape habits. With a robust 3R programme
in school, students can be more involved in practicing the 3Rs and in turn bring this habit
home and to carry on this habit as adults.

PROGRAMME

If your school has an ongoing 3R programme, you may still use this Guidebook
as reference. If your school is starting from scratch on the 3R journey, this
Guidebook is intended to help you in developing and implementing a
successful 3R programme for your school. The following six steps are
recommended for successfully implementing a 3R programme in your school:

• MOE schools
• Private/ International Schools
• Higher Learning Institutes

Step 1: Obtain the Support of Top

Management

✓ Once Approved

Step 2:
Form an Environmental
Sustainability Team

Step 3: Conduct a Waste Audit

Step 4: Evaluate Opportunities to Reduce,

Benefits of Reducing, Reusing and Recycling Solid Waste
CHAPTER 3: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO A 3R PROGRAMME

Step 1: Obtain the Support of Top Management

Management support (e.g. Principal, Vice Principal, or School Management Board) is vital
for the success of any 3R Programme as 3R initiatives could require an investment in
time, manpower and even funds. It could also entail changes in responsibilities of some
staff or in operational procedures.

A supportive management is crucial to the alignment of the environmental goals of all

stakeholders, and supports the formation of a culture of practicing the 3Rs amongst all
staff and students.

Step 2: Form an Environmental Sustainability Team

The next step is for the school to form an Environmental Sustainability Team to oversee
the 3R Programme for the school.

The Environmental Sustainability Team should comprise individuals with a passion for
protecting the environment and who possesses strong leadership and communication
skills. He or she should also be someone who is knowledgeable about the schools’
operations, as well as its procurement and waste management procedures.

Role of Environmental Sustainability Team

✓ Plan, develop and implement a 3R Programme specific for

the school, including:
• Setting of the goals and targets for the school’s 3R
Programme
• Implementing initiatives to educate staff and
students in the 3Rs
• Organising regular activities to raise overall
awareness on the 3Rs
• Providing necessary infrastructure to encourage 3R
practices in the school

✓ Conduct waste inspections to identify areas where waste

can be reduced, reused or recycled

✓ Monitor and ensure compliance with the established 3R

procedures

✓ Generate reports on progress in meeting the goals and

targets under the programme

✓ Evaluate effectiveness of the 3R programme and work with

the Green/3R team to improve it.

✓ Keep management and staff informed of the progress in

meeting the goals and targets for the 3R Programme

Step 3: Conduct a Waste Audit

What is a Waste Audit

A waste audit is a structured process of identifying and quantifying the sources, amount
and types of waste being generated in the school.

The objective of a waste audit is to profile the waste types by finding out information on:

• types of waste,

• quantity of each waste type,

• how they are generated,

• why they are generated,

• where they are being generated, and

• how they are managed after being generated.

Doing this will help to identify areas of wastage, and uncover opportunities to reduce, reuse
or recycle waste materials. It will also help collect baseline data for measuring the
effectiveness of your 3R programme, after its implementation.

How to Conduct a Waste Audit?

A waste audit can be conducted by an external waste auditor engaged by the school or in-
house.

Different types of waste are generated in different parts of a school. Walk through the
different areas within the schools on unannounced days of operations to observe existing
practices, examine the contents in general waste bins, take stock of any waste reduction
efforts that are already in place, and document findings.

Be sure to pay close attention to the areas and operations that tend to generate larger
amounts of waste for instance:

✓ Canteens (food and packaging waste)

✓ Staff room (paper)
✓ General Office (paper and print cartridge waste etc.)

10

A Step-by-Step Guide to a 3R Programme
CHAPTER 3: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO A 3R PROGRAMME

Stages of the waste audit:

I. Create An Audit Checklist

Create a checklist for all waste types generated from each area. Auditing waste in each
department separately makes sure that relevant 3R initiatives can be tailored for the
respective department if needed.

II. Collect Waste Samples

Determine a few days of the week to make unannounced collection of waste samples from
all the areas.

To ensure that the waste samples are representative, collect a full week’s worth of
samples for each area. To avoid confusion, you may wish to collect waste samples from
different areas on different weeks. For instance, collect waste samples only from the
canteen in week 1, from classrooms and offices in week 2 and so on.

Give clear instructions to staff and cleaners who will be doing the waste audit on the
locations and types of waste they will be collecting collection process. and how to label the
collection bags / bins for identification of waste sources. Supervisors will need to closely
supervise the waste sample.

III. Sort the Waste

After the sample bags of waste are collected, labelled and recorded, the bags from each
area are weighed and emptied onto a large plastic sheet. The waste materials can then be
sorted into different types / categories according to the audit checklist.

IV. Analyse the Data and Record the Results

After sorting, each type of waste is then individually weighed and recorded.

The Environmental Sustainability Team can then compile and enter all the data gathered
into the checklists, by department, for analysis to reveal opportunities for 3R initiatives.
When analysing the data, pay special attention to how these wastes are generated, why
they are generated, at which point they are being generated, and how they are managed
after being generated. These analyses will be useful when developing 3R strategies and
procedures.

Step 4: Identify Opportunities and Implement 3R Practices

Identifying Recyclables

Recyclable wastes that are usually found in schools are listed in the table below. Do
note that items sent for recycling should be not have food or liquid residue to prevent
contamination. Contamination lowers the value of recyclable materials, and materials
that are badly contaminated cannot be recycled at all.

CHAPTER 3: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO A 3R PROGRAMME

After analysing the data from the waste audit, the Environmental Sustainability Team should be
able to identify opportunities for intervention and develop strategies and procedures for 3R
outreach and initiatives to target each waste type.

CHAPTER 3: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO A 3R PROGRAMME

Step 5: Develop a 3R Programme

The Environmental Sustainability Team can develop a 3R programme for your school
including:

• Targeted waste types for waste reduction, reuse and recycling,

• Details of the proposed 3R initiatives for targeted waste types,
• Any potential costs and / or cost savings,
• Estimated quantity of waste reduction (i.e. kg) for each waste type,
• Measurable performance indicators and targets, such as waste reduction or recycling
rate,
• Timeline for achieving the targets.

A summary table of the 3R Programme, similar to the one below, can be created for ease
of reference for the Environmental Sustainability Team.

Setting up Recycling Infrastructure

Evaluate the existing recycling infrastructure if any and ensure that a comprehensive and
convenient network of recycling bins are set up to facilitate recycling for staff and students.
Recycling bins should be easily distinguished from refuse bins. Recycling bins should be
clearly labelled.

• Segregated VS Commingled Recycling Bins

Recyclables can be collected in segregated or commingled recycling bins. Either type can be
used depending on the collection method of the recycling service provider.

MOE schools served by the Public Waste Collectors are provided with blue commingled
recycling bins.

The recyclables collection system and the bin infrastructure within the school should be
aligned to prevent confusion for the users, and recyclables from segregated bins should not
be collected in commingled form so as not to erode users’ confidence of the recycling system.

CHAPTER 3: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO A 3R PROGRAMME

Step 6: Implement and Improve the 3R Programme

For a successful implementation of the 3R Programme, the following are necessary:

Responsibilities and Resources

The Environmental IC or Environmental Sustainability Team should ensure that the various
initiatives are carried out according to schedule.

Education and Promotion

3R initiatives should be well communicated to all stakeholders, i.e.

staff, management and students, to gain their support. They should be
clear about the goals and objectives of the 3R Programme to ensure
its success.

The following communication measures could be used for creating

awareness and promoting participation:

Staff Students

• Conduct briefing for all staff on 3R • Inform students of the nearest recycling
initiatives and how they can participate bins
(e.g. 3R tips, location of recycling bins, • Display reminder notices at strategic
how not to contaminate the recyclables, locations, e.g. poster/e-message to
etc.) – for new staff, this should be part encourage students to reduce paper
of an orientation programme waste printing or photocopying areas,
• Make the 3R Programme posters to remind students to reduce
(implementation schedule with goals) food waste at canteens
easily accessible through intranet or via
notices/posters at prominent staff
locations
• Display reminder notices at strategic
locations, e.g. poster/e-message to
encourage staff to reduce paper waste
printing or photocopying areas, posters
to remind staff to reduce food waste at
canteens
• Make 3R tips available to staff through
the intranet and emails
• Share and update 3R initiatives and
waste reduction results periodically with
staff

Monitoring, Evaluation and Improvement

• Obtain monthly waste and recycling tonnage reports (this could be requested from
the collector/s) to monitor waste reduction and recycling performances against the
targets set
• Maintain records of waste disposal fees and recycling collection fees/revenue to
calculate monthly cost savings in the form of reduced disposal costs and/or
revenue obtained from the sale of recyclable items
• Work with collectors to place recycling bins at strategic locations within the
schools
• Conduct routine inspections of recycling bins to identify sources of contamination
and misuse, if any. If contamination levels are high, engage staff and students
through various avenues to inform them of what cannot be thrown into the
recycling bin.
• Encourage staff and students to provide feedback or ideas to improve the school’s
3R practices
• Conduct annual reviews of the 3R Programme – this includes a waste audit to
identify new 3R opportunities, making changes to initiatives if needed and setting
higher waste reduction/recycling targets
